EV has haikus so why not Ares? Here are mine:

Nasteroid floats by
Modified Cruiser too close
Computer wins again

T-Bolt fires again
Kaboom. Tractor-Tug is gone
The Slugs win once more

Can any of you think some up?

For those of you who dont know haikus have:

Three lines
The first and last lines have five syllables in total.
The middle line has seven syllables in total.
they do not rhyme.

If only my comp
was stable, I'd have my plug
halfway done by now

Hera beta 6
is very nice and good, but
we want next beta

It is their pigheaded and baseless philosophy: "If it isn't me, then it's opinions, feelings, and life do not matter, and it was meant to serve me." They also have this ability for creating excuses that are pointless, but they get others to believe it. A few examples: "It's only some savages. It's only five acres of rain forest. It's only one semi-truck. It's only fifty gallons of toxic waste..." After this realization, I marvelled at how humans, and the rest of the planet, have survived for so very long."

Aud carrier fires
Trazer spits harsh purple death
Ears pop in vacuum

Hera strikes again
Another project destroyed
Pass the whisky, please

Count the number of syllables in "We want beta 7."

Cluster Cell Array,
Carriers look big and bad.
Oops, an HVD.

Human Gunships rock!
Rapid-fire magneto gun,
Lasers turreted.

Engineering Pod
Just sent to station G-3
Power station gone.

Why is that schooner
Following that asteroid?
Better go and see.

Palyos Belt is fun.
I like to break open roids
Without the miners.

Research ship has said
A jumpgate inhibitor
Is that big construct.

Sorry, I'd just gotten up when I did the first one, and the second one was just a bit before I went to bed.

Count the syllables- a lot of them are wrong. Almost a quarter.

I pronounce William "WILL-yem," sorry.

Pho-to-pulse-fires
Bal-ence-is-hard

Both 4 syllables.

Net game has much lag.
Grolk Light Cruiser turns too late-
Hit and then explodes.

Elejeetians-
Nice cruiser, I must admit.
Where are other ships?

Obish are much fun.
Only good guys that can cloak-
Too bad it means squat.

Select friendly, fool!
I press many, many times.
Oh, I changed my keys.

Equals, equals, drake.
Makes a perfect assasin.
Cheating can be fun...

Babysitting them,
Holed up in beseiged planet.
Go play asteroids.

Why do holograms
Get targeted while cloaked ships
Still can be fired at?

Obish cruiser flies
gaitori gets way to close (gait or i)
bits fly everywhere.

I don't think that one's right, though. Posted Image

Politicians lie
People demand open war
Admirals oblige

Fleets moving slowly
Guns flash against the starfield
Spacedust is pretty

Ships land softly on
A small enemy planet
Troopers swarm shooting

Borders shift often
Worlds pass between two regimes
The people suffer

A hero rises
The people burn with anger
Uprising begins
